Mexico's president clarifies Trump's claims on border migration and drug issues
President-elect Donald Trump announced a conversation with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, claiming she agreed to stop migration into the U.S. and address drug inflow. He stated that Mexico would immediately halt people from reaching the U.S. border. Sheinbaum responded, clarifying that Mexico's goal is not to close borders but to foster cooperation. She emphasized a strategy focused on human rights and assisting migrants before they reach the border. This exchange follows Trump's recent threats to impose a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada, which both countries have warned could harm the U.S. economy. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed a commitment to constructive dialogue.
